1 lb shitake mushrooms, chopped (I left off the stems this time, though I might try next time since they cook for a while--maybe that will tenderize them).

Rinse the dry beans. Combine everything in a big pot the day or night before--add water to cover by a few inches. Let soak overnight in the fridge. Cook the next morning for 2-4 hours, until desired tenderness. Adding water as needed. These taste sweet and fantastic. As I said in another post, they are kind of like baked beans! Here's the big pot of cooked beans:

Here they are divided into 11 1-cup servings (minus 1 that I ate). I'll have these for lunch and dinner along with my micro-salads.

About this blog

I'm sharing my experiences on what I prefer to eat. I am similar to Mad-Eye Moody (a Harry Potter character) in that, for the most part, I only eat food I prepare myself. How else can I avoid added salt, oil, sugar, refined grains, and animal products? As someone who doesn't like to be the center of attention, I try to do this as discreetly as possible. But I think they're on to me. Fortunately, none of them know about my blog.
